i was full time, went on maternity and then asked to come back part time 3 full days a week after maternity to which they agreed. I had no intention of returning full time while my daughter is so young which is why I went part time - it allows me to spend time with her, attend baby health clinic and mother and baby groups etc on the days I dont work. I had the one meeting to discuss returning to work and that was it, I just turned up on my first day back and worked my days. I was not told I had a trial or an oppirtunity to change my mind if it didnt suit me and I have no other meeting sin

I was full time until the feb, then i went on maternity leave and had my meeting about coming back in the September and told them I wanted to come back 3 full days - I then started a new p/t contract in the November last year. when I had the meeting in Sep, they asked me to work the monday instead of the days i'd asked for as it's busy. Not once was the bank holidays mentioned or the fact i'd have to work them - if they had I wouldnt have agreed to do the monday and stuck with the tue-thursday. HR and my manager are now claiming that as the whole contractual weekends and BH are relatively new

Full time 39.5, The other part timers do 20 hours per week and I do 22.5 - these are the contracted hours as we dont get paid for an hour lunch break each day. I work 8.30am to 5pm Mon,Tues and Thursday.

I'm calling ACAS tomorrow, but wondering if anybody had any imput. Whilst I was on maternity leave from my FT time a new contract was intorduced whereby all FT staff now have to woek a set amount of weekends per year and 2 BH which are on a rota and all other BH off - as a result they had a salary increase of £500pa to cover the extra days. They get 25 days holiday plus the BH's not worked I went back to work p/t and asked to work 3 midweek days, however i was asked to a mon and have a wed and fri off to whichi agreed. It was confirmed that the new weekend/bh rota did not affect me a
